Acer Predator Helios 300 Issue (Predator PH315-54) #37

Open Setu-Gupta opened 2 years ago

Setu-Gupta commented 2 years ago

I'm running arch linux. When I load a profile using the facer_rgb.py script, nothing happens. Moreover my keyboard backlight is set to light blue color by default. This does not change after running the script.

uname -a gives: Linux acerarch 5.16.12-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed, 02 Mar 2022 12:22:51 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

sudo dmidecode | grep "Product Name" -B 2 -A 4 gives:

Did you receive any errors on installation?

Setu-Gupta commented 2 years ago

No I didn't face any issues on installation

morais948 commented 2 years ago

I'm also having the same problem, everything goes well in the installation but nothing happens with any command. I use kali linux

JafarAkhondali commented 1 year ago

Check again to see if it's fixed. Please test both turbo mode and RGBs on different OSs.

Setu-Gupta commented 1 year ago

It is not working. Again the installation threw no errors. When I tried running ./facer_rgb.py -m 1 -s 4 -b 100 -cR 255 -cG 0 -cB 255, there was no change to my keyboard backlight. Also when I tried pressing the Turbo button, there was no change, whereas pressing the turbo button on windows ramps up the fan speed.

See here https://github.com/JafarAkhondali/acer-predator-turbo-and-rgb-keyboard-linux-module/issues/53#issuecomment-1304608901 for my comment on how I got thus working on PH315-55. It's a bit of a chore to do it at first, as I manually edit the facer source file to include a few different changes from several threads into one.
